Building on more than two decades of expertise in evaluating Business Schools and Universities worldwide, Eduniversal now extends its unique methodology to recognize excellence across specialized domains shaping the future of education, innovation, and culture.
Four Foundational Specialities
The 2025 lauch of the Schools of Excellence focuses on four major pillars of global education and economic development:
Arts & Luxury
Highlights institutions that combine creativity, craftsmanship, and strategic management in the fields of design, fashion, fine arts, heritage, and luxury brand management.
IT & AI
Showcasing schools leading the transformation of society through AI research, digital innovation, data science, cybersecurity, and the technologies shaping tomorrow's intelligent world.
General Engineering
Recognizing institutions at the forefront of industrial excellence, sustainability, and technological advancement. From mechanical and civil engineering to energy, materials, and smart manufacturing.
Law
Celebrating schools that uphold the values of justice through legal education, international law, compliance, and public policy innovation.
A Phased Global Expansion
The Eduniversal Schools of Excellence ranking will evolve progressively over four years, reflecting both the rigor of evaluation and the growing diversity of participating institutions:
| Years | Targeted Institutions per Specialty | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | ~100 official schools | Official launch and first evaluation |
| 2026 | 200 schools | Expansion and consolidation of academic networks |
| 2027 | 300 schools | Global benchmarking across all regions |
| 2028 | 400 schools | Full-scale international ranking |
This structured growth ensures transparency, credibility, and sustainability, while allowing each specialty to develop a strong global ecosystem of academic and professional excellence.
Independent Committees of Experts (from 2026)
Beginning in early 2026, Eduniversal will establish an Independent Committee of 5 Experts for each Specialty.
Each committee will be composed of renowned academics and professionals from different regions, ensuring fair, diverse, and informed evaluation process.
These Committees will be responsible for:
- Selecting and validating the institutions to be included in the ranking
- Visiting and assessing schools on-site whenever necessary
- Distributing the Palmes of Excellence based on the Eduniversal methodology
- Following up on the evolution and achievements of each institution within their specialty
Through these committees, Eduniversal reinforces its commitment to independence, transparency, and expert-led evaluation.
A Truly Global Coverage
The Schools of Excellence are evaluated across 9 geographic zones and 154 countries, reflecting Eduniversal’s expanded international presence and its mission to foster recognition for academic excellence on an even broader scale.
Methodology and Recognition
The Eduniversal Palmes of Excellence ranking system reflects:
- International reputation and influence
- Academic quality and specialization
- Industry connections and professional outcomes
- Innovation and contribution to global education
This ranking complements the existing Eduniversal system while providing a specialized focus that enhances visibility for institutions shaping key sectors of the future.
